...........The LD15 has a bigger spot and brighter spill than the LD12......
Thanks for the report. I have to admit that I wish it had a slight orange peel reflector. Without it, pretty much explains the fairly tight spot. Some guys are going to like it that aspect of it. Not sure I do though.
I do like the fact that its rated at 115 lumens instead of a higher amount where they try to get the most output they can out of a single AA. I prefer the trade off to a little more run time. I also really like the spacing of the modes.
Harry999;3887261 I may still get the LD22 - I was just thinking I could put it in a glass if necessary. I also need to decide between the lampshade diffuser and the cone one for desk use. [/QUOTE said:I have both the lamp shade diffuser and the (White) cone diffuser that I use on my LD 10 or LD 20 light and my personal preference is the white cone as a desk topper only for the fact the cone is more comfortable in your face when you have it on a desk/ table in front of you. The lampshade is great in your tent and maybe work great if it was hanging above your table/Desk. I use the table configuration when I go camping, all I did was glue a rubber chair tip on a beer coaster and sit the light in the chair tip. It was either that or fix the wobbly table.
My Wife thinks a flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries.
I really hate how they messed up the tail standing. The side button allows the use of a tactical forward clicky tail but they made the clicky to long/guard to short.
YMMV, but even outside I've never really had a problem finding a way to lean upright a flashlight with a protruding tail cap so it gives off effective light. Because of the relatively slender shape of these AA/2xAA lights, even if the light will tail stand my experience is such that any errant bump to the platform it's resting on will topple the light. As I said however, your experience may differ.I really hate how they messed up the tail standing.
